Internet of Things (IoT) related applications have emerged as an important field for both engineers and researchers, reflecting the magnitude and impact of data-related problems to be solved in contemporary business organizations especially in cloud computing. This paper first provides a functional framework that identifies the acquisition, management, processing and mining areas of IoT big data, and several associated technical modules are defined and described in terms of their key characteristics and capabilities. Then current research in IoT application is analyzed, moreover, the challenges and opportunities associated with IoT big data research are identified. We also report a study of critical IoT application publications and research topics based on related academic and industry publications. Finally, some open issues and some typical examples are given under the proposed IoT-related research framework.

IoT-Based Big Data Storage Systems in Cloud Computing: Perspectives and Challenges

The increasing tendency of network service users to use cloud computing encourages web service vendors to supply services that have different functional and nonfunctional (quality of service) features and provide them in a service pool. Based on supply and demand rules and because of the exuberant growth of the services that are offered, cloud service brokers face tough competition against each other in providing quality of service enhancements. Such competition leads to a difficult and complicated process to provide simple service selection and composition in supplying composite services in the cloud, which should be considered an NP-hard problem. How to select appropriate services from the service pool, overcome composition restrictions, determine the importance of different quality of service parameters, focus on the dynamic characteristics of the problem, and address rapid changes in the properties of the services and network appear to be among the most important issues that must be investigated and addressed. In this paper, utilizing a systematic literature review, important questions that can be raised about the research performed in addressing the above-mentioned problem have been extracted and put forth. Then, by dividing the research into four main groups based on the problem-solving approaches and identifying the investigated quality of service parameters, intended objectives, and developing environments, beneficial results and statistics are obtained that can contribute to future research.

Review: Cloud computing service composition: A systematic literature review

Cloud computing has become central to current discussions about corporate information technology. To assess the impact that cloud may have on enterprises, it is important to evaluate the claims made in the existing literature and critically review these claims against empirical evidence from the field. To this end, this paper provides a framework within which to locate existing and future research on cloud computing. This framework is structured around a series of technological and service ‘desires’, that is, characteristics of cloud that are important for cloud users. The existing literature on cloud computing is located within this framework and is supplemented with empirical evidence from interviews with cloud providers and cloud users that were undertaken between 2010 and 2012. The paper identifies a range of research questions that arise from the analysis.

A critical review of cloud computing: researching desires and realities

Many industrial enterprises acquire disparate systems and applications over the years. The need to integrate these different systems and applications is often prominent for satisfying business requirements and needs. In an effort to help researchers in industrial informatics understand the state-of-the-art of the enterprise application integration, we examined the architectures and technologies for integrating distributed enterprise applications, illustrated their strengths and weaknesses, and identified research trends and opportunities in this increasingly important area.

Integration of Distributed Enterprise Applications: A Survey

A tenant-based resource allocation model for scaling Software-as-a-Service applications over cloud computing infrastructures

New web development and deployment platforms are arising; some examples of these are Apex of Salesforce.com, Google Application Engine SDK, Facebook API, and so on. These software delivery platforms (SDP) are meant to serve as the basis for the delivery of an important percentage of the software offer. In the other hand, application development over these new platforms is not a defined process. Building applications over an SDP change the way software is designed, developed and delivered. Common methods of software development should be analyzed and redefined in order to fulfill the requirements of these new ways of constructing and delivering software. This paper presents the analysis of the impact of these requirements and proposes guidelines to be applied for application development in software-as-a-service (SaaS) environments.

Application Development over Software-as-a-Service Platforms

The e-HUB evolution: From a Custom Software Architecture to a Software-as-a-Service implementation

Enterprise interoperability enables the access to relevant information within an enterprise. Traditionally, enterprise integration implementations are managed as merely technological solutions, but integration requirements outcome from business process needs, such as just-in-time information and integration with strategic partners. Without a business process driven methodology that comprises both technical and behavioural views, enterprise integration projects are prone to failure. This paper proposes a business process driven modelling approach for enterprise integration using the Zachman framework to build the enterprise architecture interoperability. The most important model of the enterprise architecture in this proposal is the business process level and its relationships with other architectural model levels.
